The warrant to divide and distribute the homestead farm of the deceased EphraimLeach was returned by DanielTolman, EphraimFobes and DanielFobes to the Honorable JoshuaThomas in Plymouth County on 19 October 1802. The committee's written report outlined the process they used, the details of each share, and how they were distributed among the recipients. The committee completed their return of the warrant by stating to the court that they had taken a view of the homestead that EphraimLeach, late of Bridgewater, died seized of and, pursuant to the warrant and as directed by Judge JoshuaThomas, had divided the homestead agreeably and assigned and set off to the heirs of the several persons mentioned, their respective heirs' shares, to be held separately. The document was filed with the court on 6 April 1805.
